RSD/CRPS (COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME) NEW CLINICAL DRUG TRIAL If you have received a diagnosis of RSD or CRPS, you may be eligible to participate in a study of a potentially new treatment. To assess your study eligibility, you will be asked the following questions regarding your painful limb: o Have you had continuing pain for at least one month? o Have you experienced increased skin sensitivity to touch or clothing? o Has your skin felt especially cold or especially warm? o Has the skin color changed? o Has there been swelling or unusual sweating? o Has there been any impairment in the range of motion of your affected joints (eg, fingers, wrist, ankle, foot)? o Has there been any abnormal change in the skin, nails or hair? For more information, please contact the Department of Pain Medicine and Palliative Care, Beth Israel Medical Center, NY.
